Was not compelled by the story whatsoever and ended up abandoning the book near the end. I got so tired of it I didn‘t even care what happened. 🤷♀️
I feel like I say this all the time but oh my gosh the narration is great! I just got done with the scene when George/Jake does the lindy hop dance with his coworker at the dance. So well written and performed that I was grinning like an idiot while I was driving and listening this morning! Such a fun little excerpt!
'Twas an excellent textbook. Only a few chapters were less than ideally thorough.
I feel like I started at the wrong part of this series. I never felt fully pulled in to the world and I ended up remaining an arm's distance from it all. This might be because of where I started but I definitely felt like I was missing vital lore and background information. Maybe starting somewhere else would have prevented that.
That last final exam study push! Yuh! 🙌👩🔬
I'm WAY ahead of the game this year. I usually get in between 28 and 35 books a year including textbooks. School keeps me busy and I'm not an especially fast reader. 🤷♀️ So I was worried about hitting my annual challenge goal this year and I'm honestly a bit impressed with myself. I have always added 2 books to my challenge each year. I may have to add 10 to next year!!
"We'll treat this like a clinic problem. I'll let you work on it for a bit before I go over it." Which translates to...Imma read but you guys do you. I'm too tired for this today.
I'm squandering my break between class and work to read. Love it.
Finishing the audiobook before class and keep telling myself, "don't cry, you'll ruin your makeup before you even get to your first class"
One of my favorite things about work is that they let me work on my homework and make use of my giant workspace. ✌️P.S. the bookstand came from Staples for $4
A different kind of productivity today. This textbook is really well written. That's soooooo refreshing.
Audiobooks make me more productive! Even if it is in terms of coloring lol
After rereading two of my favorites, I've confirmed the Goodreads reading challenge is accepting rereads as part of the count!! So I have no qualms over re-listening to The Mistborn Trilogy during my 2 hour break between class and work while coloring and sipping on coffee. It's been a hard morning of work, I assure you 😉 #adulting
My vacation is over and I'm back at school and work...except school...I slept right through my 8AM class this morning. I'm so disappointed in myself! At least it was only the syllabus overview and the first half of champter one... I can manage that part myself. Thankfully, I work on campus in my department and have a lot of downtime to study! 📚👩🔬
My favorite thing about our car is that I can play stuff through the radio off of my phone. It makes driving so much more calm when I'm listening to a book. Thank the stars for Audible!
Already done with Fear Nothing and on to the sequel, Seize the Night. These are two of my all time favorite books! I'm so glad Goodreads counts rereads in the reading challenge now!
One of my all time favorite books. One of my all time favorite audiobooks by one of my all time favorite narrators and voice actors. THIS is how I'd rather beat a book slump. 😊 I listen to Fear Nothing and Seize the Night at least once a year. Not on purpose, just out of desire. 😍 #favorite #deankoontz #fearnothing #audible
I'm about *this* close to passing...despite how close I am to finishing it. 😒
I feel like the only reason I'm going to finish this book is because I'm almost done with it. It started off interesting but I've been getting more and more disenfranchised as I go. It's gotten to the point where I haven't made progress in weeks and am trying to convince myself to read it. Unless there's a big surprise in the last 100 pages, I think this'll be a pass for me. 🤷♀️
By The Light Of The Moon was the last book that I read where I DESPISED the characters and what they do this much. But... I ended up loving them just before the second half started and things got whacky! However...I'm over halfway done with Prey and I'm just getting fussy about everything. People are dumb. Lesson learned. Ready to be done with this one. Unimpressed.
If you're on #Goodreads add me! I love having fellow readers on Litsy and Goodreads to interact with! If you feel so inclined, here's my link :) https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/34143918-mary-kate-ritchey Hope to see you there!
My semester is over! SO GUESS WHAT I'M DOING THE REST OF THE DAY??? #excited #readingmarathon #donotdisturb
Does it count as reading if it's your own writing? 😔 Slaving over my notes for my final on Monday. 👩🎓 #study #school #microbiology #science
I'm not actually reading my textbook right now. I'm reading an article I'm trying to use as a reference in my paper. FIVE more days in the semester and then I can start reading fun stuff again!!! #almostthere #school #finals #science
Dear bookstores,
If you can't use stickers that don't tear when you try to remove them, don't use stickers!!!
Sincerely, a fussy reader 😡

A friend was sick yesterday and couldn't come hang out with the group so I picked her up something at Barnes and Noble. I LOVE gifting my favorite books to my favorite people!
I'm reading for the first time in WEEKS! The semesfednis finally coming to a close and I can breathe a little...and read a lot!!! Went to Barnes and Noble today and picked up a few things for myself and the Mistborn Trilogy for a friend who couldn't make it. I'm so excited for her to read them! I'll show what I got for my shelves tomorrow. :)
The only reading I've done in weeks. 😔 I think I'm gonna try to find some recreational reading time tomorrow. At least I'm mastering gas chromatography... Yes...there's nail polish and Taco Bell packets on my desk too... #collegelife
I haven't made any progress on my book so I haven't posted in weeks. 😔 I've had so many large projects and exams in school that I haven't been able to read recreationally at all. Don't you hate when that happens? Times like this is when I get the most stressed. I need time to read to be happy. 💔 #readinghiatus
Kiki is not amused by my studies. 😼 #catsoflitsy #study #microbiology
Last minute homework woop woop! 🤦♀️📖
New instrumentation cycle, new reading. I rented my textbook from Amazon, which is normally awesome quality, but I am positively boggled by how a book can be pristine on the inside and the cover is beat to sh!t. #science #chemistry #studentlife
As a biochemistry major, this molecular sequencing assembly line is amazing. You put those methyl groups on, alright! #science #chemistry #scifi
This isn't the sort of reading I had in mind!! 🙅
I wanted to get in bed and read for a bit... but like Spooky, Sebastian, and Cinder, I too, am too tired to read. 😭 Long days at school and studying REALLY bother me when I'm working on a physical or e-book. I get sooooo much more read when I use audiobooks. 📖 #catsoflitsy
One of my reading buddies is not amused by the late night reading lamp shenanigans. Sebastian just wants some sleep. 🖤😻💤
My Friday chill is a book, my kitties, and my bed. #fridayreads #prey #michaelcrichton #scifi
I love science fiction novels based on REAL LIFE SCIENCE!!! An introduction cited with references is a GREAT start!!! #scifi #Prey #MichaelCrichton
